Thank you Mike for this beautiful drawing.You were always a good neighbor,if you ever needed anything you could always count on us,for a ladder ,lawn need mowing we were there, needed water from our well ,no problem.That's what neighbors are for. We'll take good care of your lawn mower Mike.

Mike was always so nice to us,he gave me one of his paintings of a native American woman .We helped him with his yard and gave him vegetables out of our garden. He kept to himself ,by painting or sitting on his porch at night. We would walk over and talk about Flint and his paint jobs ,we let him borrow our ladder for his work. He didn't have water at one time and we let him use our well. We went out of our way to help , any time he asked. He will be missed.Talented painter.
